The long wait for immigration to work makes you understand why so many people come here and stay illegally, they know it is too long and hard to do it legally. And this couple's wait was even shorter than many. - - Donna Poisl
Utah man welcomes his Mexican wife home.
By Jennifer W. Sanchez, The Salt Lake Tribune
While his wife, Ignacia, waited in Mexico, Marc Carpenter waited for the letter that would reunite them.
On March 27, after 409 days, a friend -- who checked Marc's mail often while he was at work -- called. She said a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services was sitting in his mailbox; she was on her way with it.
"It was the longest 15 minutes of my life," Marc said.
He immediately called Ignacia, who, despite having a "bad" feeling about the letter's contents, stayed on the phone as Marc opened the letter in front of his Burger King co-workers.
It was the "approval notice" they had been waiting for. Ignacia could come back to Salt Lake City.
